Check your testosterone level at home.

In men, testosterone plays a key role in health and well-being as well as in osteoporosis. On average, an adult human male body produces about forty to sixty times more testosterone than an adult female body
Testosterone levels decline gradually with age in human beings.

The clinical significance of this decrease is debated (see andropause). There is disagreement about if and when to treat aging men with testosterone replacement therapy. The American Society of Andrology’s position is that testosterone therapy “is indicated when both clinical symptoms and signs suggestive of androgen deficiency and decreased testosterone levels are present”

Replacement therapy can take the form of injectable depots, transdermal patches and gels, subcutaneous pellets and oral therapy. Adverse effects of testosterone supplementation include minor side effects such as acne and oily skin, and more significant complications such as increased hematocrit which can require venipuncture in order to treat, exacerbation of sleep apnea and acceleration of pre-existing prostate cancer growth.

Appropriate testosterone therapy can prevent or reduce the likelihood of osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, cardio-vascular disease (CVD), obesity, depression and anxiety and the statistical risk of early mortality. Low testosterone also brings with it an increased risk for the development of Alzheimer’s Disease

How can you check your hormone level at home ? St. Louis University School of Medicine has listed 10 symtoms that are highly predictive of low testosterone levels.

Please contact your doc if you have some of these symptoms and you are over 40years old.
